The incident that led to this becoming my legacy is also why those alts are privated now. Also realistically, it would be a band-aid fix at most since it would take a single achiever to undo 20 alts' worth of work, which makes the method thoroughly not worth it for games that aren't just completely dead, never mind I only had 40 alts anyway, so I'd be doing all that work to fit in like one more achiever before the second achiever post alt-inflation just takes it to VR status again. 🫠 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea this literally just happened with Session: Skate Sim. I platted that game when it first released a couple of years ago and back then it was a VR with a plat % of around 7%-8%. Woke up today and noticed I had like 10ish more UR's than I normal and it was indeed because it just dropped on PS+ this month. Granted the game is still pretty tough control wise, but it's not that crazy difficult to warrant the coveted UR plat imo. I'm not complaining though lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the situation has been over for a long time now, but yeah, it was amusing. Talk about it has been a lot more jokey ever since the incident resolved, so it's no big deal now. Mostly just another case of "so this is my legacy now 🫠" every time I get mentioned for it. Also since I was called in here, none of the plat achievers have privated at all (and I also believe someone else explored that avenue three months ago because 5 of the 7 accounts without a scheduled update all last updated 3 months and 2 weeks ago with the other two updating some time after that) and the owner count on a certain other site is a few hundred lower than the owner count here, so anyone desperate enough to make this UR is likely gonna have to add accounts from the in-game leaderboards to get it back to UR assuming there's even boards to pull from. Can't be bothered to go that far though, so I guess that's for someone else to decide if they wanna go through all that so this can tank like 2 more achievers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild-Arms-R Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Such a shame, but the game is really good a underated. No matter the rarity if someone sees you with this plat they know your not fucking around. Crazy to think this VR will be my hardest platinum forever, unless I do Raiden 4, Chariot or something insane like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s pretty crazy the effect it can have on games. One of my friends hit 1k URs this past year and he said throughout the course of the year he had a passive increase of something like 70-80 URs on his list just from games coming to PS+ or Extra/Premium. That’s also cool to hear Session is an UR now too! I love skateboarding games and was thinking of checking that one out at some point but I hadn’t even looked at the trophy list yet. The UR plat just makes it more appealing. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinachii- Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 And this is why psnp needs to change the way it tracks owners. Populate the whole psn community, every acc and every owner. Then after that, fix the stupid dlc rarity formula. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meecegoatsalot Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Rarity is more linked to online crap, tedium and whether or not it was given on plus at some point. When it comes to difficulty people generally are aware of whether or not they will try for it or not and if not may stay clear entirely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynnerigan Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 The deception of rarity strikes again. I feel the same way about Spelunky 2. Sitting at almost 4%, you could make the mistake of not thinking that game could boil your blood and cause you a lot of difficulty, especially if you're not too great with platformers.

I heard that one is very underrated in terms of difficulty! The guide says it's a 9 but probably a very solid one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fun games but it'll take quite some time for me to mentalily prepare myself to go for the 2 plat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Populate the whole psn community, every acc and every owner. Then after that, fix the stupid dlc rarity formula. PSNP rarity % isn’t perfect by any means, for many reasons already made clear in this thread, but imo you still get a far more accurate representation of difficulty by only tracking registered accounts that actively hunt trophies. It’s better than the alternative. When you take into account global rarity % (every account and every owner across PSN), the stats are heavily skewed by millions of accounts that don’t care about trophy hunting. It ends up being very misleading; For ex. I’ve seen YouTubers who use global rarity so it seems like every game they platinum is like sub 1%. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
